Essentially a “Cabaret” Sauvignon, given the chorus of supporting Bordeaux grapes behind the featured Cab Sauv, and the use of 90% New French Oak.  The wine is wrapped in a red carpet that will roll out for it to walk down as it ages.  A cellar worthy sleeper!

Aromas of black fruit (cassis, blackberry), vanilla, gingerbread spice, and brown sugar.  The palate echoes with blackberry, accompanied by notes of cedar, cigar smoke, crushed gravel, and thyme.

90% French Oak (NEW); 6% French Oak (2nd Fill), 4% French Oak (Neutral).  14.5% ABV
